Murder: Wilful murder was distinguished from accidental homicide, and was
invariably visited with capital punishment
(Numbers 35:16,18,21,31)
(Leviticus 24:17) This law in its principle is founded on the fact of
man's having been made in the likeness of God
(Genesis 9:5,6; John 8:44)
(1 John 3:12,15) The Mosiac law prohibited any compensation for murder
or the reprieve of the murderer
(Exodus 21:12,14; Deuteronomy 19:11,13)
(2 Samuel 17:25; 20:10) Two witnesses were required in any capital case
(Numbers 35:19-30; Deuteronomy 17:6-12) If the murderer could not be discovered,
the city nearest the scene of the murder was required to make
expiation for the crime committed
(Deuteronomy 21:1-9) These offences also
were to be punished with death,1. striking a parent; 2. cursing a parent; 3. kidnapping
(Exodus 21:15-17; Deuteronomy 27:16)
